Renewable Energy Water Pumping Federal Government Rebates

The Renewable Energy Water Pumping Sub-programme provides rebates for the renewable energy components of water pumps that displace diesel engine powered pumps in off-grid applications.

Rebates of 40% of the capital cost of the renewable energy components minus $1,000 are available to applicants that fully comply with the eligibility requirements and procedures outlined in the guidelines.

To be eligible, applicants must have their Pre-purchase Application approved by the administrator before buying and installing new renewable energy water pumps.

Rebates are available to businesses, government and other incorporated organisations that comply with all requirements and procedures outlined in these guidelines.

Applicants may apply for rebates for multiple renewable energy water pumping systems up to the maximum rebate level. The maximum rebate level is $30,000 per site or property.

Rebates are only available for new and complete renewable energy water pumping systems that are designed to deliver a minimum annual average of 8,000 litres per day at a total head of 20 metres (or equivalent).

Please download the Renewable Energy Water Pumping Guidelines for more information.
